My Favorite Picture Books

Looking for a fun book to read with your child?

One of my favorite things to do with my kids when they were younger was READ!  We would check out a big stack of picture books from the local library and dive in. 

One of my favorite memories of my son (he attended morning kindergarten) is a day when he said, “Mom, why don’t you make yourself a cup of coffee, and let’s read!”  So we did! Who could resist that request 🙂 

Here are a few of our favorites– I would love to hear what your favorites are, too!!

Here are a few of my favorites! I do a lot of book-blogging of new releases and my current favorites on Instagram. Follow me to join in the fun and comment with your opinions.
